I do B&W whenever i shoot small bands in small venues. The lights absolutely assrape the image most of the time especially reds/blue/purples.But i dont own any filters so, i dont know what im missing out on. In bigger places or if the lights are yellowish ill do color at least for some of it. But im naturally drawn to extremely heavily contrasting images so i end up just using it pretty frequently outside of that environment.
Natural light is tough because it just depends and the conditions can change from minute to minute but you should still be able to produce serviceable images in most settings. A lot of people just cant into editing or changing their white balance. Still though, it really depends on what youre going for.
Color/b&w immediately present different "intentions" and drive peoples eyes different places. A color picture of a flower would probably leave people just looking at the overall shape and the dense colors. A black and white one would pull people more to look at the details of it but also have to be visually interesting enough of an image in the first place to get looked at. At least in my experience
